Subject: [PATCH 2/2] virtio-console: remove unnecessary kmemdup()
Date:   Sun,  1 Aug 2021 13:16:55 +0800
Message-Id: <20210801051655.79048-1-xianting.tian@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

hvc framework will never pass stack memory to the put_chars() function,
So the calling of kmemdup() is unnecessary, remove it.

Fixes: c4baad5029 ("virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack")
